Keaton Orthodontics

Keaton Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic clinic committed to providing high-quality dental care across the tri-state region of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. The primary location is in Pikeville, KY, with additional offices in Paintsville and Prestonsburg. The practice is led by Dr. Andy Keaton, a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, a recognized specialty by the American Dental Association. Keaton Orthodontics emphasizes a patient-centric approach, striving to make every patient feel welcome and valued. Their staff boasts over 140 years of combined experience and is highly trained in the latest orthodontic technologies and procedures. This commitment to advanced techniques includes digital X-rays with 3D capabilities and digital models, reducing the need for traditional impressions. The clinic offers a wide range of orthodontic treatments for teens and adults. For teenagers, they provide various options, including traditional braces with colorful bands for personalization, as well as more aesthetic choices like clear ceramic braces and Invisalign® Teen clear aligners. Adult treatment is also a significant focus, addressing various malocclusions and bite issues. Beyond just teeth straightening, Keaton Orthodontics specializes in dentofacial orthopedics, which involves guiding facial growth and development using removable functional appliances like headgear. This can address issues such as jawbone underdevelopment or overbites, often before or concurrently with brace treatment, aiming to create a balanced facial profile and potentially avoiding jaw surgery. Their philosophy extends to creating comprehensive treatment plans, which begin with a thorough initial examination. This visit typically includes X-rays, photos, and digital models to accurately assess each patient's needs. They are transparent about treatment procedures, duration, costs, and payment options, ensuring patients have a clear understanding of their journey to a healthier smile. Patient testimonials highlight the welcoming environment, effective treatment results, and the positive impact on self-confidence that a beautiful smile provides. Keaton Orthodontics also actively participates in community events, as evidenced by their involvement in initiatives like "Paint Pikeville Pink." They prioritize patient comfort and convenience, offering appointment-based services and maintaining a focus on creating beautiful and confident smiles for individuals of all ages.
